1. What causes insomnia to persist? For example the life stressor has gone, I’m going to bed calm and relaxed now, but still can’t sleep. If anxiety is no longer an issue, what is the biological/scientific reason it persists?
2. Once people begin to recover, how does a bad night of sleep not cause an immediate relapse in most people? It seems easy to get stuck in an endless cycle!
3. Does insomnia eventually go away in most people/ is it unlikely I’ll have this forever ?1. Insomnia typically exists because of our efforts to get rid of it — our attempts to make sleep happen when we want it to happen.
2. People who have “recovered” have often become more skilled in responding to wakefulness with less struggle. So, when difficult nights happen they are less likely to respond in ways that perpetuate that sleep disruption.
3. Difficult nights from time to time are normal, just as difficult days from time to time are normal. For as long as you are a human being, difficult nights will show up from time to time just as difficult days will show up from time to time. What matters is our response to difficult nights — because that determines how much power and influence they will have over our lives.
I hope this helps!
